Lug Infinity ∞ Lacing
Specifically for shoes with lugs, this lacing resembles a series of infinity "∞" symbols. It works best with thinner shoelaces because each lug needs to occupy two passes of lace.

Here you can see how the laces curve around the lugs to form the infinity "∞" symbols.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs.

2. The ends are crossed over each other, running diagonally across and down the shoe, feeding back into the bottom of the adjacent lug on the opposite side. There will already be a lace running through that lug, so this will be a tight fit.

3. The ends run straight up through those lugs, then continue straight up and through the next higher set of lugs up the shoe.

4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until both ends reach the top lugs.

5. If desired, step (2) can be repeated one last time to create a final infinity "∞" symbol at the top of the shoe (as shown in the diagram at left).

FEATURES:
Decorative
Harder to tighten
May need thinner laces


NOTE:
If the shoelaces are too thick to run twice through the lugs, an alternative is Lug Ladder Lacing, which looks very similar but runs the second pass of shoelace over the lugs instead of through them.
